Behrens was the very first to compete for AIK, at the International Gymnastics and Sports Festival in Stockholm in May 1891 at Svea Livgarden's sports ground with 200 athletes as participants. Behrens and six other AIK members had signed up in various disciplines. Behrens was a
short-distance runner. He competed in the 150 meters, but his time was not enough for the final place. Behrens then tried on many other sports within AIK, from kicking to
speed skating, but he never won any really big successes as an active. It was as a leader and board member that he made a name for himself both within and outside AIK. After a short stay in
Lidköping in 1895, Behrens moved back to Stockholm, where he lived the rest of his life. From his father he had inherited his profession as a
typographer and later became a registrar. In 1896 Behrens
married Anna Matilda. The couple never had any children together. In 1951, AIK prepared for its 60th anniversary. The then chairman
Putte Kock and the HS secretary Nils Yngwe Bolling met Behrens at the retirement home, Katarinahuset, by Sabbatsberg, where he lived for the last time in his life. He promised to come to the anniversary party in the Grand Hotel's mirror hall. In the autumn of the same year he died, 83 years old. His grave is found at
Norra begravningsplatsen in
Solna. |286x286px == Memories of Behrens ==
